I wrote this back in the Blues Alley days and have performed it many times for a live audience. It's a 16 bar blues with a nice shuffle rhythm and a lyric everyone can relate to.

Lyrics:

Won't Be Down Always
Copyright 1996 by Larry Heyl

I've been up. I've been down.
I've been so turned around.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.
I've been tight. I've been loose.
In fact I'm 'bout as loose as a goose.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

Because sooner or later everything's got to take a turn.
For better or for worse .....
And baby when that better comes I'm gonna jump right on and get me some.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

I've been down. I've been up.
I even drank from your loving cup.
Well I may be down now but I won't be down always.
I've been loose. I've been tight.
I've even been out all night.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

And here's the reason why

Because sooner or later everything's got to take a turn.
For better or for worse .....
And baby when that better comes I'm gonna jump right on and get me some.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.
